I bow my head in gratitude to my teacher...

Inside the ancestral hall, the lights shone brightly.

Qin Shou sat high on the throne, Changsheng and Wenqing, while Xiao Xuan stood to one side.

Luo Yunyan knelt before her master and bowed three times.

[Qin Beast, congratulations! You have received your fifth apprentice. You are rewarded with a "Apprentice Recruitment Gift Pack." Would you like to open it?]

"Open. "

【Eternal Sword Scripture: Immortal Cultivation Technique】

【Eternal Sword: Supreme Spiritual Treasure】

[Sword Heart Pill: Taking it allows one to enter the realm of enlightenment, cultivate a sword heart, and increase understanding of the way of the sword.]

[Seeds of Spiritual Herbs and Medicinal Herbs * 100 bags.....]

"Rise. From this day forward, you will be the fifth personal disciple of Qin Shou, the second-generation sect master of my Reliance Sect."

Qin Shou smiled gently and presented the three gifts that were a reward from the system.

Luo Yunyan nodded and bowed respectfully as she accepted the gift.

Qin Shou nodded in satisfaction; this little fellow was the most diligent in his cultivation among all his disciples.

"No madness, no life," Qin Shou watched with a touch of pity as he relentlessly cultivated day and night.

"Very well, the cause of the past is the effect of today. I only hope that this little fellow can one day break free from the shackles in his heart, attain clarity of mind regarding swordsmanship, and glimpse the Great Dao."

"In this way, we can say that a trace of the Luoshui Sect's legacy has been preserved."

Qin Shou sighed inwardly, thinking to himself.

Luo Yunyan nodded and stood up. She first greeted the patriarchs of all generations, and then paid her respects to her fellow disciples.

"Congratulations, Junior Sister."

With a smile, Xiao Xuan nodded, acknowledging the promise of longevity and tenderness.

Each of them presented a generous gift to their master's newly accepted junior sister.

Chang Sheng scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Junior Sister, I have nothing of value. How about this, there are several high-quality spiritual herbs in the spirit garden behind the mountain that are about to ripen. How about I fill a sack for you when they do?"

good.

Luo Yunyan echoed her sentiments, a slight smile playing on her lips.

On this mountaintop, she remained silent, yet she felt a warmth she had only ever experienced in the Luoshui Sect, under the loving care of her many elders.

As for the junior sister's silence, Changsheng and the others were already used to it and didn't find it strange. On the contrary, they felt a little sorry for her.

They all knew that their junior sister was not born mute, but rather that she had lost her voice later in life due to a difficult emotional struggle.

A month later, the banquet ended.

Taking advantage of the dark night and the fact that Yuanbao was fast asleep from being drunk, Xiao Xuan and his wife abducted him.

When Little Fatty and Black Rabbit woke up the next day, they excitedly went to find Yuanbao patrolling the mountain, only to find that he was gone. So the two of them grumbled several times, saying that Yuanbao left without even saying goodbye to his elder.

Black Rabbit squeaked in agreement, thinking that this was the first time Yuanbao had acted out, and that she would have to have a good talk with him next time.

Wen Qing stayed by Yi Cheng's side for several days, and then left a storage ring under her bed. Inside were gifts she had prepared for her junior sister. She knew that her junior sister had a habit of hiding good things under her bed, and she would definitely be pleasantly surprised when she woke up and looked under the bed.

"Oh, no, you have a junior sister now, so I should call you third junior sister."

"But it's okay, in my heart you'll always be the cutest little junior sister."

After rubbing Yi Cheng's chubby belly, Wen Qing smiled and left the house, bidding farewell to Qin Shou and Chang Sheng before hurriedly departing.

Qin Shou watched Wen Qing leave, then looked at the peach blossoms covering the mountain and thought to himself, "Yesterday's prosperity is today's tranquility."

That's fine, that's fine too.

Immortality is thus achieved.

......

In the days that followed, the hilltop returned to calm.

Qin Shou cultivated slowly and leisurely, refining his cultivation level.

It is worth mentioning that Qin Shou built a magic array in the back mountain and opened up a training ground. Occasionally, in his spare time, he would learn the art of weapon crafting to pass the time.

The cause was the bronze luck card that the system rewarded Qin Beast when he was building his foundation for immortality. He used it to draw a lottery and obtained a copy of the "Great Evolution Heavenly Craft Technique," which contained many methods of refining weapons and novel mechanical techniques.

Qin Beast was quite interested in this.

......

Time always slips away silently.

Two years later in the blink of an eye.

Qin Shou's cultivation had reached the peak of the Void Realm, and the system also gave a notification sound.

[Qin Beast, you have reached the Great Perfection of the Void Realm. You have two options:]

[First, you will pass the tribulation and be rewarded with a top-grade spiritual treasure.]

The host can choose from the following three paths to enter the Fusion Realm:

The first principle, "Harmony with the Dao," is a perfect law and therefore the superior choice. Currently, the success rate for transcending tribulation is 80%.

Note: The more Dao-integrating laws one possesses, the greater their potential and the stronger their combat power.

2. The main body and the secondary body merge into one, pushing the soul, body, and mind to a state of perfect perfection, and then merging with a law that has been comprehended to perfection. This is the intermediate choice. Currently, the success rate of transcending the tribulation is 95%.

3. Refine the fortune of a province's mountains and rivers, and merge with the Dao of that province. Within this land, you are the main force, and your combat power will be amplified. This method is suitable for those with limited talent and innate potential. However, those who choose this method will never be able to reach the Tribulation Transcending Realm in their lifetime; this is a inferior choice. Currently, the success rate of Tribulation Transcending is 98%.

[Second, do not undergo tribulation; continue to refine your cultivation level. Reward: one low-grade spirit stone]

A low-grade spirit stone?

Seeing the system's mockery, Qin Shou decisively chose to accept it.

As I said before, anything without 100% certainty is tantamount to suicide.

The Integration Realm, also known as the Dao Integration Realm, is the most common cultivation method in the world. It involves comprehending a law to perfection and then cultivating the physical body and magical power to saturation before one can transcend tribulations and break through to the next realm.

However, since the Integration Realm has already qualified for the initial glimpse of the Great Dao, its tribulation is extremely dangerous, far exceeding that of the Void Realm by dozens of times.

There are countless cultivators in the Void Realm, but very few cultivators in the Body Integration Realm. This is one way to illustrate the point.

As for the three paths given by the system, Qin Shou naturally eliminated the third path at first glance. Although the combat power in the Mountain and River home field of the He Dao Yi Zhou region was increased, the combat power outside this Mountain and River home field was even weaker than that of a normal He Dao realm cultivator. However, the most important thing was that this path was barren and had no future.

After thinking it over, Qin Shou eliminated the second path and chose the first one.

The reason is that Qin Beast does not want to merge his clone and main body into one. He believes that once both have cultivated to the point of perfect tribulation, entering the Great Ascension Immortal Realm will be easier and he will be more powerful.

Moreover, given his status as a "hanging wall" character, keeping his clones would be more useful, as they could save his life.

More importantly, his own clone had long been "missing".

However, even after choosing the first path, Qin Shou did not intend to conform to only one law.

Currently, he is most familiar with the Five Elements Laws, and his understanding of them is close to perfection. He has also comprehended more than a hundred other laws. He has the Sea of ​​Laws and the highest level of comprehension. Therefore, he is trying to merge with the laws of all heavens and achieve the strongest fusion realm in all ages.

With that thought in mind, Qin Shou did just that.

Within the Sea of ​​Laws, Qin Beast stood tall, his body surrounded by interwoven laws, dazzling like a galaxy.

He thought to himself, if he truly aligned himself with the laws of the heavens, how powerful he would be in battle...

And so, the Qin Beast began to circulate the Chaos Immortal Scripture and comprehend the laws of the heavens.

......

The following June, Yunzhou was shaken.

As the mighty calamity descended, a phantom of a Vermilion Bird rose against the tide, its hooves thundering amidst the flames.

Golden flames filled the sky, and the endless power of heaven was inexhaustible. Many proud sons of heaven who were standing in Yunzhou turned their heads and looked at the white lightning tribulations in the sky that seemed to destroy the world with astonishment.

"The Calamity of All Spirits!"
